ABS 910430 Nut Stub Axle

ABS 910430 Nut Stub Axle

The ABS 910430 Nut Stub Axle is a critical component in the front axle assembly of many modern vehicles, particularly those from Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Honda, Lancia, and Rover. This part serves as the kingpin nut, securing the steering knuckle to the vehicle’s suspension system while allowing precise alignment and smooth steering operation.

Key Functional Characteristics

• High‑strength steel construction: Designed to withstand the high torsional loads experienced during cornering and braking.
• Right‑hand thread: Ensures correct tightening direction, preventing loosening under dynamic forces.
• Precision machining: Guarantees a perfect fit with the steering knuckle and axle shaft, reducing play and enhancing vehicle handling.
• Corrosion resistance: Coated or treated to resist rust in harsh environments, extending service life.

Compatibility Overview

The ABS 910430 Nut Stub Axle is engineered for a wide range of models across several manufacturers. Below is an organized list of vehicle families and specific models that utilize this component:

• Alfa Romeo: 155, 164, GTV, Spider, 155/167 series
• Fiat: Croma, Marea, Coupe (FA/175), Lancia Kappa, Lancia Thema
• Honda: Accord V, Accord IV, Prelude III, Legend/Sedan, Rural, Aerodeck, VI
• Lancia: Kappa, Thema, Spider, 600, 800 RH, 1900
• Rover: 600, 800, 2L, 2.5L, 2.7L, 2.3L, 1.9L

Each model may require the nut for either the left or right side of the front axle, and in some cases both sides are supplied as a set.

Installation Guidelines

1. Preparation: Clean all mating surfaces to remove grease, dirt, and old threadlocker residue. Inspect for damage or wear.
2. Threading: Align the nut with the steering knuckle’s kingpin hole. Use a torque wrench to tighten in a cross‑pattern sequence if installing both left and right nuts simultaneously.
3. Tightening Sequence: Follow manufacturer specifications (typically 70–90 Nm for most models). Over‑tightening can strip threads; under‑tightening may lead to steering instability.
4. Final Check: Verify that the nut is seated flush and that no play exists in the steering column. Reapply threadlocker if recommended by OEM guidelines.

Maintenance Tips

• Periodically inspect the nut for signs of corrosion or loosening, especially after exposure to road salt.
• Avoid using excessive force when removing the nut; use a breaker bar with proper extension to prevent damage.
• If replacing, match the exact thread pitch (M24x1.5) and torque specifications to maintain vehicle safety.
